MAFS UK viewers have accused producers of ‘stepping in’ over a shock moment during last night’s commitment ceremony.
E4 fans couldn’t believe their eyes after Alex Henry, 28, decided to remain in the process after writing ‘Leave’ on his card.
The Brummie aviation operator, who is ‘married’ to Holly Ditchfield, 29, made his intentions clear at the end of yesterday’s installment – but U-turned before he could even pack his bags.
Huddersfield beautician Holly broke down in tears and branded him “disrespectful and childish”, asking him why he wasn’t wearing his wedding ring.
She fumed: “You speak to me like I’m a boy in the street,” to which he shot back: “If it wasn’t for this process, you would have been ghosted.”
Holly went on to claim her ‘husband’ had told the other grooms he would “do a U-turn and go with someone else” if he wasn’t happy in his marriage.
She branded it a “s****y comment” and shared her upset, but he pointed out how it was made on the stag do before they’d even met.
When the time came for the couple to decide whether it was time to stay or leave, they opted for different answers.
But within minutes, Alex changed his mind and vowed to continue working on his relationship with Holly despite her offer of leaving with him.
Those watching at home were left convinced that show bosses had ordered him to change his mind as they took to X, formerly Twitter.
One wrote: “Feels like a producers decision,” with another agreed: “Producer’s are producin.”
Someone else added: “The producers told him to stay cause there's no way! He makes me feel uncomfortable.”
A fourth concluded: “The producers are doing an amazing job making Alex look like a full blown psychopath that should not be around women.”
Alex and Holly have had a turbulent time since saying “I do” during the current series of MAFS UK.
And, earlier in the week, Alex was seen savagely insulting Holly – leaving her in floods of tears.
They were seen sitting down with experts Paul Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas.
Alex said to Holly, “If this was not this process, you would have been ghosted.”
The experts were left shocked by the comment, and Holly was seen breaking down in tears.
She said, “That’s why I hate the situation I’m in.”
In a previous episode, a bust-up with Alex saw Holly storm out of the dinner party.
Alex had previously expressed how his lack of “fatherly instincts” might have proved a barrier in his marriage to Holly as a result of her being a mother-of-two.
These concerns spilled over into the dinner party when fellow bride Polly clashed with Alex as she urged him to be honest and open about what he could handle in the marriage.
It saw him shut Polly down, a conversation that was witnessed by his wife.
Immediately taking issue with what he had said, Holly saw red and snapped at her husband, “Don’t be rude!
“I’m not coping with someone who’s so f***ing disrespectful.
“I didn’t want someone like that around me because I had two children at home, and never would a man be around my kids who spoke like that, let me tell you, let me f***ing tell you!”
